Echo

“When Pam and I were both heavy, they called us ‘spam,’’ Sam said to nobody in particular.

“What are you talking about?” I asked.

“My family. To our faces. Sam and Pam, spam.  Not the computer kind, the fatty pork that comes in a can.” 

“That is so cruel,” Kim said.  “Bet they don’t call you that now, though.”

“No, but when I see them I still hear their words echo.  Pam and I really struggled to lose weight. It stings a little they could be that mean and think it was funny.” 

Today I will remember cruel words echo for a long time.
